I love how this is still being described as "a fall in inflationary pressure." What inflationary pressure?

"And cynically, I am quite glad the US are going on the same path to collapse. Which is the only way to get our freedom back, which will be the first step to get rid of socialism." -- I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. If you are anti-socialism, you should be hoping for *more* socialist laws here in the US. The faster we get there, the more likely and the faster the collapse of the system. A slow, plodding move to socialism will likely last longer (i.e., "How do you boil a lobster? Slowly.") People adapt to slow changes, people revolt against: faster change, or changes that have lead to an extreme state (even if said changes happen over time) that is no longer liveable.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be8a93eab8ea892c40fa1cTmacThu, 10 Jul 2014 08:44:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be8a93eab8ea892c40fa1c

Exactly...{sarcasm}; what we sow we reap. I may have to head over to DailyKos and ask those tools what they have to think of the changing global economic equation, except (without even a shred of doubt or introspection) they would simply argue for yet more regulation if every stock in the world traded at $0.00 and their families starved. For the life of me I can not figure out how the morons of the world (big government acolytes), but especially the US, have been able to gain vocal currency; excepting one large ticket item, Social Security (which I am only for because I have a very soft heart for any aged person in the world), not a thing they have begged for and gotten has ever gone well or not produced incredibly awful unintended consequences.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be89f1eab8ea582740fa15TmacThu, 10 Jul 2014 08:41:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be89f1eab8ea582740fa15

I'm a French civil servant (middle/low level).
I'm paid 40 000 $ to be present at the workplace 35 hours a week (I ACTUALLY work much less, 20 hours maybe).
I have 7 ( seven) weeks of paid vacations.
I'm a hell of a happy mushroom.
I hope it will go on and on. Never mind if it is not sustainable in any way.
It seems that my country can go away with that without fear of retaliation from anybody (least of all the EU).

Kind of hard to make business.

>>>>> Sub Saharan Africans are uncivilized, and North Africans are barely civilized.
I didn't say it had anything to do with 'race' - that's your narrow mined liberal bigotry creeping in.
Africans, one generation out of the jungle (in 1950, less than 5% of Arabs were literate, worse for Black Africans), are 200 years away from the level of civilization of most Europeans. They come to Europe, maybe 1 in 10 will 'make it' and have a normal life.
The rest are forming a crazy underclass of poverty, despair, radical islam, violence, entitlement - all segregated based on race.
African immigration to France is causing a demographic and class-based nuclear war.
The riots and race wars are getting worse every year.

"Because, yes, in the end, we know most of what is unraveling was managed by the US, to destroy the only strong country remaining in Europe."
No. This is where you fall apart.
Don't blame the Americans from the decline of France.
That is typically European: blame Americans for your problems.
Stop blaming others and get back to work.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be679069beddf91e1a7815jamesxxxxxxxThu, 10 Jul 2014 06:14:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be679069beddf91e1a7815
There are some workers who want to work.
Several businesses have French factories wherein the workers demand several hours a day for breaks.
They kidnap their bosses and lock them in factories when they don't get their raises.
I'm not sure 'lazy' is the right word for it - but they are impossible to work with.

And the sad part is it's not like Spaniards or Portuguese. French leave, not because there is no job. French leave because the state actively forbids them to work.
Add to that french people never left the country. Because there was no reason. And because it is a beautiful country. The mean reason we lost America to the english in the first place.
On the other hand. The state actively attracts immigrants (priority on social housing; 100% healthcare cover, which is no longer the case for French, harsh justice for white people, usually getting years in prison for things that would lead a black or maghreban spend 48h in jail & a warning).
On TV, we now have think-tankers who write books like "leave France" and so on. Strangely, they are from the french-american foundation... Because, yes, in the end, we know most of what is unraveling was managed by the US, to destroy the only strong country remaining in Europe.
And cynically, I am quite glad the US are going on the same path to collapse.

London is now said to be the third french town...

I can't agree with lazy workers.
You have no idea how heroic are the french who still try to work, despite that insane system.
The real problem is they never gave up, allowing this system to stay afloat. The only way to destroy socialism is to stop feeding it. Which means you can beat it only through economical suicide. Anyway the only choice is between suicide or socialism's self destruction.
When I see how quickly work ethic collapsed in the US, I am pretty sure you can't blame us for being lazy. What amazes me, I how many people I met who, still in 2014, want to work. Most of them are unemployed or underemployed. Most of people who have a public job (whether they are public servants, or they work in a company which lives on public aid), they are not that lazy. They just have nothing to do. Absurd american style management and no incentive to work.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be5d86eab8eaf96f40fa20RobtThu, 10 Jul 2014 05:31:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be5d86eab8eaf96f40fa20
And all of their young, go-getters are leaving the country.
I spend six months of the year in London, and it is crawling with mid to late twenty year old French men and women who have come to realise their entrepreneurial dreams.
According to the latest UK local government numbers, there are between two and three hundred thousand French people living and working in the capital.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be5c786da811a34c57fd94Doug in VirginiaThu, 10 Jul 2014 05:27:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53be5c786da811a34c57fd94
This is but a minor detour on the road to the Worker's Paradise that is the goal of the Socialist party.
You can read about the plans for increased public spending, higher taxes on the bourgeousie erm "the rich", bringing the bankers to heel, and empowering women here: <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/27/us-france-election-proposals-idUSBRE82Q0KH20120327" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/27/us-france-election-proposals-idUSBRE82Q0KH20120327</a>
